Beaded Rounded Heart Pattern

Welcome to the 3-D beaded rounded heart pattern instructions! If you have any difficulty following this tutorial, please post a comment at the bottom of the page on which you are stuck, and I'll do my best to help!

Step 1

Step 1 : At the end of the previous step, we had just crossed the small white seed bead labelled with a red X. I told you we would be stringing through the two small white seed beads labelled with black dots. So, let's do just that. Take the end of the fishing line depicted by a red arrow and string it through the two small white seed beads labelled with black dots. Then, add 2 new small white seed beads to the same end of the fishing line. You don't even have to touch the other end of the fishing line in this step. The last small white seed bead to be added is labelled with a yellow X.

Step 2

Step 2 : In this step, simply cross the small white seed bead labelled with a yellow X. That is, string the end of the fishing line depicted by a black arrow through that bead, in the opposite direction from the other end of the fishing line. You can see that we have successfully formed our new circle of 5 small white seed beads.

Step 3

Step 3 : This is a picture of the same exact step, except it's better lit, and it shows you the large blue seed bead labelled with a yellow X that we will be stringing through in the next step of the heart pattern. It shows you a clearer view of the side of the heart, because we are heading back towards the side again to continue suturing up the side of the heart.

Step 4

Step 4 : In this step, we are stringing through that large blue seed bead labelled with the yellow X, and we are adding a few more beads to the pattern. So, take the end of the fishing line depicted by a red arrow and string it through the large blue bead labelled with a yellow X. To the other end of the fishing line, add the 4 new seed beads as shown in the picture. The last bead to be added is the small white seed bead labelled with a yellow dot.

Step 5

Step 5 : In this step, we are crossing the small white seed bead labelled with a yellow dot, in other words the last bead to be added to our beaded heart pattern. Make sure the strings are going through the bead in opposite directions, as shown. We are going to be forming yet another circle of small white seed beads in the next step. Can't you just get enough of them? LOL!
